rare chance ...

... to buy a whole 'country' in one go! These are the issues for Saarland issued after World War Two, complete and mint and on the website today!

unusual packets

I've had a big delivery of packets arrive today. Included are some very unusual 'countries', including Marienwerder shown above. This is an easy and cheap way of getting hold of some very unusual material!

modern commems

Many modern commemorative issues are going to be in very short supply in the future! The reason is quite simple - the lag between postal authorities' perception of collector demand and the actual demand that is being increased daily by the Internet and the growth of collecting in developing countries, particularly India and China. Many modern commemoratives are printed in small quantities.

I've noticed a big pick up in orders for commemorative mint sets (mainly) recently and would always recommend picking them up when you can as restocking is often difficult if not impossible!

Solomon Islands

Just in is a lovely lot of unmounted mint Solomon Islands issues from 1996-2009. Many modern issues are very hard to find once the new issue period is over, so I'd always recommend grabbing them when they become available!

superb used

I've always had a preference for very fine used over mint, but that's just me! This is a lovely set just loaded to the website, which now has over 10,000 separate stamp/set listings. As always priced at just half catalogue ie £52.50.
